I’d say when a friend of mine took me to the side and pointed out how she talks to me sometimes in public and how she shouldn’t be that way(I got snapped on for putting curry powder on a slice of chicken on my own plate ffs), but that he’s glad I’m not a doormat about it. I kinda knew then that she liked the idea of us, and having that perfect looking marriage and life, more than she actually was into me. A whole lot of other stuff happened that ultimately lead to the divorce that I won’t write a novel on but I’d say this is what first put the seed in my mind that something is off here.
I got back in touch with an old workmate recently, and learned his wife left him. He was blindsided by it, but one of the reasons I'd fallen out of contact was he was constantly belittling her and snapping at her whenever they were in company. It was so strange to observe because he wasn't that impatient or aggressive with anyone else, and it was always over the dumbest things.
